Best Pub in North London
Mabel's Tavern, a Shepherd Neame managed house, in Mabledon Place, Bloomsbury, has been voted Pub of the Year by members of the North London Branch of CAMRA (The Campaign for Real Ale).
Mabel's was chosen from more than 800 public houses in the area for its long-term commitment to real ale and for its friendly welcome.
"Mabel's has consistently sold good real ale over a number of years to appreciative customers from all sorts of backgrounds and this is why the pub has appeared in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide for many years."Nigel Bunting, Shepherd Neame's retail director said: "The care and attention of manager Tom Milne and all the team at Mabel's is second to none. We are delighted that the quality of their work has been recognised by discerning lovers of real ale."
Mabel's Tavern was awarded Shepherd Neame's Cellar of the Year Award in 2005 in the company's annual Pub Awards
The pub is named after a former landlady called Mabel Macinelly, who died in 1972, and is said to haunt the pub. Staff claim to have heard her calling out and the noise of the dumb waiter operating, even though the apparatus was removed many years ago!
